Review of 'Nature's Path' Gluten Free Waffles (Mesa Sunrise Omega-3)

Nature's Path -- Gluten Free Waffles (Mesa Sunrise Omega-3) (vegan)
Overall Rating: 5/5
Summary: I really enjoyed this waffle! It's lightly sweet rather than salted. I actually ate some of it without any syrup or spreads...it was yummy just bare. It has a great texture after toasting -- nicely crisped on the outside with a nice chew. The waffles are deelish, the brand is impressive, and the ingredients are organic and wholesome so yeah, I'd definitely recommend this!

Thanks again to Nature's Path for delivering on awesome ingredients. The nutritional profile isn't overly impressive (relatively low protein and fiber content), but it does have some great healthy fats (poly- and mono-unsaturated). It's zero-cholesterol and has an average calorie count.

I liked the light, crispy, and subtly sweet properties of these waffles and I'd definitely buy them again. For some reason, this product isn't listed on the Nature's Path website (US or Canada), so perhaps it's new.
